Comment 31 for bug 284377

Ok, it seems this might a duplicate of bug 291449, I've tested with Intrepid livecd and I get no net there as well.

Would it be better to mark that one as a duplicate of this, since we have more info here? (and workarounds):

This thread concerning intrepid also seems relevant http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=963335 , and (at least) two of the fixes described there works for me; as far as I know both means not letting N-M join in the game at all:

# EITHER
$ update-rc.d -f NetworkManager remove
# RESTART
$ dhclient eth0
#
# OR
$ echo -e "auto eth0\niface eth0 inet dhcp" >> /etc/network/interfaces
# RESTART

I am really interested in getting a fix for this in jaunty so if there is anything more I could do in terms of poking and broking let me know.
